This place has been here for as long as I have been in Jackson Heights. (almost 30 years) My father worked here in the late late 80s and I always just remember him being by the door on the side of the cafe with the really tall step that I was never able to climb as a child. The food here is regular diner food which is good because the only other diner that is decent is pretty far away (for my lazy ass).
I saw a NY1 report that said that the owner is going back to culinary school to learn how to change up her menu. I think that is a great way to show that you want to keep your customers happy, and make new ones. I have always had a pleasant experience while being a patron at Ricky's and look forward to eating there again soon and seeing eventually what the new menu options have to offer. I have had regular BLT's, breakfast platters and they have always been delicious. I have not had any dinner specials here and I guess I will never call in my order after reading what other Yelpers said so far.
Came here the other day for a burger. It's in the neighborhood and I've been meaning to try it but with all the other options in the neighborhood, it's never been a top priority. Decided to try this place for lunch and it was very mediocre. The burger was standard and I tried to substitute my fries for tostones but they said I couldn't. Fine. I ordered a burger and a side of tostones instead.
There were also flies and a bug roaming around. I understand every restaurant is not perfect, but there were a few too many gnats and flies. Also, in the corner of the wall, there was a large bug crawling it's way across the restaurant. Didn't sit too well with me.
Lastly, the service here stinks. It took about ten minutes to get the check after we asked twice since we were in a hurry. It looked like they had a cash register issue, but c'mon, at least tell us!
Can't wait for Mark Twain to reopen.
A diner serving American and Colombian food. It's not a fancy place, but the owner is quite friendly, and price is cheap. The food is OK, I won't say it's delicious but considering the price it's acceptable.
